It will be obvious that water flowing to a storage tank, such as used by railroads, will actuate rotor 25 as it travels through the stator from the pipe 19 to pipe 17. This will cause the actuation of agitator 38, meter 46, and pump 33. Consequently the treating material in container 36 will be mixed thoroughly and then elevated by pump 33 to the storage tank where it will be discharged into the water delivered to the tank. The meter will also register the amount of water thus treated.

As before explained this apparatus is especially useful in remote localities where power is not easily available for operating treating apparatus. of water to the tank by gravity or otherwise will be sufficient to operate the several parts of the mechanism. 1

What is claimed is:
